My favourite memory of Harry Potter was when I was very little, probably around 7 years old, and the order of the Phoenix had just came out. I was home with my parents who were going through a divorce at the time and constantly at each other’s throats yelling, I was also really upset because I had recently lost my twin brother and I felt so alone. My auntie and uncle came and picked me up and I remember my uncle sitting in the back with me because I couldn’t stop crying. My uncle and auntie were supposed to be having their date night and going to see the order of the Phoenix but they ended up taking me with them. They were hesitant to take me because they thought I would be scared but I absolutely loved the movie and had a smile on my face from the second the movie started until I went to sleep that night. That night my auntie read me the first book and she read a few chapters but I ended up reading the rest of the book when they went to sleep 😂. I am so grateful to jk Rowling for creating an escape for myself and others like me.

[@nurnina8332]

There's one thing you guys forgot to mention... the music! For me, the music is so important cause it... I don't know how to explain that... It makes every moment so intense and wonderful. It makes your heart beat faster when the instruments get louder. It even makes you cry sometimes... Long story short, the music's also an important part of the Harry Potter universe! :)

[@missOhdrey]

NurNina definitely! I still study and work while listening to the scores!

[@boopthesnoot719]

NurNina YES!

[@jennapeep18]

Yes! I teared up at the opening of Fantastic Beasts because of the music, so reminiscent of HP, makes you feel so many things! It's so powerful!

[@bloempotlot]

I know right, in most current films they use already existing music and even though I like that, it isn't as intense. When I went to the cinema first I saw the trailer for Beauty & the Beast and I said to my friend who was with me that I love the music of Disney movies and then during the film (fantastic beasts) I realized that the music in there was sooo good and intense as well and I loved it

[@kylalalala5361]

[@xJProductionsx]

I think what made it so unique is that J.K. didn't just write a story. She created a entire universe that is believable and in its essence not so different than ours. Because it's not just one singular story AND the fact she's still so very invested in it (bless her brilliant mind) the possibilities are endless.

Ikr, Hufflepuffs never get any love lol

[@asbaran]

May04bwu, I think it's inevitable that this story's main character would be unrelated to the 2 most popular houses: Griffyndor & Slytherin to keep the story interesting. Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws weren't really focused on in the first 7 books.

[@kyleethekelt]

I just picked up these books for the first time less than a year ago, being a veteran of Narnia, LOTR, Discworld, Star Trek, The dark Tower and His Dark Materials. I'm 55 and enjoying the stories hugely, though I consider the films a travesty off the books. They distorted canon on a huge scale. I just wish the Fantastic Beasts films came with audio description.

[@addangel]

@@kyleethekelt wow, thank you for reminding me of this comment, it feels so surreal reading about being 30 in a distant future when I’m already 31 by now 😅 Glad you’re enjoying the books! I think the OG movies are best looked at as their own entity as opposed to a visual representation of the books, because they’ll never measure up. I remember being so excited to see the Quidditch World Cup in the 4th one, and then being utterly disappointed. But the casting is immaculate, the score makes me tear up every time, and seeing Hogwarts on screen always fills me with warmth and giddiness. So I’ll take them. Fantastic Beasts on the other hand.. eh. Great visuals, confusing storytelling. Also, I find muddling the original timeline unacceptable. And now that they unfairly removed Johnny Depp.. I’m still considering if it’s worth seeing the 3rd one in cinema.

I grew up with Harry Potter and his friends. I was 10 when the first film came out. So literally the movies (and books) grew with me. The first two movies were a bit childlike, like us, then as we all grew older it became more adultlike. This whole franchise was a huge part of my life and still is. Me and my mom watch it every single year together, it has become a sort of tradition. And I can honestly say that I still very much enjoy watching them (We're actually in the middle of watching them right now. This Monday will be HP5). Reading has always been a struggle for me but the Harry Potter series really are an exception. Read all the books back to back for multiple times in my life and I'm planning on doing that again after the holidays. (I have ADHD. My attention span in tiny.)

What I don't understand why there isn't a real Hogwarts yet... I mean you can visit the film set and all, but why not build a hotel to visit, that is really a castle that exactly matches Hogwarts as described in the books?? I bet it would be a gold mine, the whole fan base dreams about living in Hogwarts for some days at least. One could book rooms in the different houses, chill out in the common rooms, maybe there would even be real workshops/classes available in the classrooms (everything just without the real magic), and you could get breakfast in the great hall... there could be the spooky side of Hogwarts, but also the comfy side with the fireplaces in the common rooms... I'd sure pay a lot to be able to experience that...

[@crazy_panda_8713]

I WOULD PAY TO FREAKIN BUY A ROOM! NOT RENT ONE BUT ACTUALLY HAVE ROOM THAT I OWN! I DON'T CARE THAT I HAVE TO CLEAN IT ALL MYSELF! I NEEEEEEEED THIS IN MY LIFE. JK ROWLING COULD BE BURIED THERE IN A MARBLE COFGIN WHEN SHE DIES. THANKS. I AM WAY TOO EXCITED TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. BLESS YOUR BRAIN FOR THINKING OF THIS!

[@rosaartemis]

right? :D it would also be an opportunity to celebrate christmas together for families... you could do the whole ceremony in the great hall with other guests, who get to know each other at the feast... but I'm sure someone has come up with the idea and had good reason to dismiss it...

[@crazy_panda_8713]

Well that is sad for us english speakers. We should make one in England where the school actually is and just have those as things you can sign up to do. Like cruise activities only you are very stationary. It would just be a hotel where you and your family can act like wizards while you being the gifted witch or wizard that you are know everything other than the moving stair cases. *shudders*

[@candeladiaz3107]

Crazy_Panda_87 What about spanish speakers,everyone forget us,most specifically South America.We love the story so much and the only thing me got are the book,official merch doesnt arrive here

[@stabbystab593]

cinestar2 how about us arabs that live in Asia, we can only get the books, no plays, meaning , events , or any merch(even the most common official mercy is not available for us) we are basically forgotten more that anyone else, some people can't afford to travel to someplace else to visit any events or sets etc..

For me to create a patronus, I need to remember my love for harry potter.

[@toomuchofathing]

When Daniel said about people watch harry potter when they're hungover or felt crappy, it really does make you feel warm and comfort. Literally, I almost do everything while watching the movie. The one time that harry potter movies really made me relaxed was when I was doing my thesis hahaha it's really fun!

I love how Eddie holds a wand through out the interview. 22:21 Eddie pouting?! Gaaah I can't...I just can't...He's too adorable😭

I started reading the books when I was only 7 or 8. Waiting for each new book to come out and going to the midnight book releases was so exciting I miss those days.

[@TompanTV]

I wish i was born in that time, i grew up with the movies and im really greatful for that but damn i wish i could of experienced what your generation did.

[@somekid7]

I would love to see characters who are also musicians. Imagine a drummer with wands as drumsticks. Haha. Now I want to write a fanfic.

[@FirstNameLastName-mb5qs]

Props to the person who edited this because the transitions from the movie clips to the interviews are beautiful

[@granolashawty]

I grew up as a very young child with the Harry Potter films. When Prisoner of Azkaban film came out, I was only 4 months old. As I proceeded to grow, I became obsessed like my mother. I was 4 when I started to thoroughly enjoy the films. I went to the last two Deathly Hallows films, even at such a young age. I cried. I even did a biography project in first grade on Jo. When I saw that Fantastic Beasts was coming out, I was over the moon. Now I get to go through my teenage years with the new cast. I'm 13 now. I'll be around 20 when the last film is out. It gives me such joy that I get to experience the magic all over again.

You put it in a nutshell and I'm so happy and thankful finding this video. Cause I'm a huge Harry Potter fan but in the last few year's I forgot how incredible and spectacular the Harry Potter universe is. So now you showed again what great influence it had and has on me and so many other people all around the world. So now there's only one thing left to say: a big big thank you to all the actors, producers, marketing guys, everyone who helped build this world and last but not least a special thanks to Joanne K. Rowling for creating this world with every single detail which fits it's just incredible and I'm so thankful that you all were with me in my childhood and also in my entire life.

[@alex-im3be]

honestly was i the only one thinking about “Harry Potter in 99 seconds” when he talked about recapping the series in a minute, yes you would have to cut some parts for a minute but IMAGINE

Couldn't have said it better. My curiosity and my urge to know more keeps me glued to this Fandom and magical world. It allowed me to make friends, to rediscover a passion for reading that i thought I had lost it just makes everyone dream more and feel that they belong.

[@okipullup6103]

I have always loved the things that happen in J.K Rowling’s creations and I know you’d be surprised but I have never watched Harry Potter. After being introduced to Fantastic Beasts by a close friend, I was blown away. I already watched Fantastic Beasts and where to find them and The Crimes of Grindylwald. They were both incredible and I heard that a third one was going to be made and people said it’s going to be even better than the others. I just paused for a minute. “I’m sorry, but how is that possible?” My friend said, it’s J.K Rowling. It’s always surprising. And that is what finally made me get ready to watch every Harry Potter movie. I am blown away.

[@eb.1]

We have to give credit to the genius and timelessness of John Williams. He composed Hedwig’s Theme as promotional material for the first film before even seeing the movie in full to score it, and it will forever be the tune associated not only with Harry Potter, but everything afterwards having to do with the wizarding world!

[@emilyneville3599]

Not a huge fan of the vamps but their houses were so accurate especially the Hufflepuff guy. His whole aura was Hufflepuff

I got serious chills in the first 20 seconds and started crying. I'm so proud of Jo and everyone involved😂

[@TheK4thi]

I felt kinda sad when i saw the community in the cinema at the premiere, everyone waving their wands .. i actually cried a little bit because i wished to be there so bad... and i`m just like - sitting in the cinema in full costume and everyone is staring at me like "who the f*** is such a freak to go to a film dressed like that, its just a film dude" Then the music startet playing and within seconds i fell into that world again like i would fall into the Pensieve and i was there and felt all the love other potterheads give. What J.K.Rowling brought to life is so amazing... I will never forget this. And in 50 Years when i'm 68 Years old, i'll be sitting on the couch, reading Harry Potter, looking like the fat lady, and asking my grandchildren for a password they have never heard before. And i wont let them come in until they read all the books and every article you've written so they can finally come in, because i want them to feel as loved as i felt from my early childhood until now. Thank you. But in parts of Germany its hard to find someone as obsessed as i am :D

[@catharinas.580]

TheK4thi The people in the cinema looked at me the same way 😅 they call it obsession, i say that I'm just still waiting for my hogwarts letter⚡

[@jamesng.6387]

You know what's the wizarding world's secret? Us. Imagine, a world without Harry Potter being alive. Always would just be a word. 9 3/4, just a fraction. 394, it's just a number. Harry, Hermione, Ron, just names. But we, all Potterheads out there, we power the wizarding world, we support it. We make it. We are the wizarding generation.

[@crazy_panda_8713]

Shhhh no i'm not crying
